초고분자량 폴리에틸렌(Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene)은 인공관절 라이너에 쓰이는 대표적 생체재료이다. 초고분자량 폴리에틸렌의 변형과 마모에 영향을 주는 인자에 대한 기본적 연구를 위하여 본 연구에서는 미세구조 결정상의 정도와 결정구조 방향성에 따른 초고분자량 폴리에틸렌의 크리프 변형 및 마모 특성의 연구를 행하였다. 압출 제작된 초고분자량 폴리에틸렌 봉(extruded UHMWPE rod)단면의 중앙(center)부분과 원주(periphery)부분으로부터 각각 직사각형 및 원통형의 시편을 제작하여 크리프 실험과 마모 실험을 실시하였다. 원주 시편의 크리프 변형율은 중앙 시편의 크리프 변형율보다 11%크며(p<0.05), 마모량도 원주 시편이 중앙 시편보다 두 배나 큰 것으로 (p<0.05)관측되었다. 이 결고달로부터 초고분자량 폴리에틸렌의 크리프 변형과 마모가 미세 결정구조 방향성에 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다.

There are genuine parts, non-genuine parts and recycled parts which can be replaced for the repair of damaged parts of crashed cars. It is the recent trend in korea that recycled C. V joints are more popular than the genuine parts fur repairing crashed cars due to the cost. Performance of recycled C. V. joints as replacement parts was tested and analysed in this study. To examine the durability of the recycled parts, the replaced C. V joints after repair were tested and analysed periodically. The results were showed that basic performance of the recycled parts was normal. However ball cage was more frequently damaged than genuine parts. We concluded that a standard test for recycled parts is required to get a safe and durable parts.

Purpose: The goal of prosthetic replacement of the shoulder is the restoration of the normal anatomy of the joint. Materials and Methods: The physician should review the variations in normal anatomy because it does vary widely and the placement of the prosthetic needs to be modified to accommodate the variations. Results and Conclusion: Several factors including anatomic, prosthetic and surgical ones can lead to the best clinical results, and these are described.

Avascular necrosis of the femoral head is a debilitating disease that leads to destruction of tho hip joint in patients who are in the third, fourth, or fifth decade of life. The total societal cost is so high because these patients are generally young, hold jobs, and have a considerable life expectancy. Therefore, we have to delay or eliminate the need for total hip replacement as possible as we can. The purpose of this review is to provide a current perspective of avascular necrosis of the femoral head.

When widening or repairing concrete deck slab, there is a joint inevitably. However, joining-construction method have following problem, that is the additional stress in existing part of bridge resulting from the specific process of joining-construction and the difference of amount of shrinkage between new and existing bridge. On this study, compared shrinkage stress of the direct joining construction method with the indirect joining construction method, and concluded the proper substitution rate of expansion cement. The rate of replacement was proper at $10\%$. but more than $15\%$, concrete had excessive expansion and weeker compressive strength. The time of placing closure concrete, considering the shinkage stresses and creep, was suitable in $45\~60$ days after placing the new concrete deck slab.

A common task in assembly modeling is the determination of the position and orientation of a set of components by solving the spatial relationships between them. Assembly models could be constructed at various levels of abstraction. They could be classified into component or geometry-level assembly models. The geometry-level assembly design approach using mating constraints such as against and fits is widely used in the commercial modelers, but it may be very tedious in some cases fur designer. In this paper, we propose a new method to construct an assembly model at the component-level by extracting joint mating features from the kinematics constraints specified between components. The assembly model constructed using the proposed method includes hierarchical and relational assembly models, component/sub-assembly positions and degrees of freedom information. The proposed method is more intuitive and natural way of assembly design and it guarantees the topological robustness of assembly modification such as component replacement and modification.

3-dimentional precast recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) finite element models were developed by means of the platform OpenSees to implement sophisticated nonlinear model subjected to seismic loads. Efforts were devoted to the dynamic responses (including dynamic characteristics, acceleration amplifications, displacements, story drifts) and capacity curve. In addition, this study extended the prediction on dynamic response of precast RAC model by parametric study of material properties that represent the replacement percentage of recycled coarse aggregate (RCA). Principles and assumptions that represent characteristics of precast structure and influence of the interface between head of column and cast-in-place (CIP) joint on the stiffness of the joints was put forward and validated by test results. The comparison between simulated and tested results of the precast RAC frame shows a good correlation with most of the relative errors about 25% in general. Therefore, the adopted assumptions and the platform OpenSees are a viable approach to simulate the dynamic response of precast frames made of RAC.

Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is one of the most devastating complications that can occur after shoulder arthroplasty. Although staged revision arthroplasty is the standard treatment in many cases, surgical intervention with debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (DAIR) can be an effective option for acute PJI. We report a complex case of infected reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) in a 73-year-old male. The patient had been previously treated for infected nonunion of a proximal humerus fracture caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis. He presented with a sinus tract 16 days after the implantation of RSA and was diagnosed with PJI caused by Serratia marcescens. The patient was successfully treated with DAIR and was free of infection at the last follow-up visit at 4 years postoperatively.

The proportion of patients with end-stage ankle arthritis is increasing. The leading surgical methods for treating patients with end-stage ankle arthritis are ankle arthrodesis and total ankle arthroplasty. Ankle arthrodesis is considered the standard treatment for end-stage ankle arthritis. Many studies have been conducted on the two procedures, but it is unclear which is superior, and total ankle arthroplasty cannot be said to be a clear indication. Therefore, this review compares the advantages and disadvantages of two representative surgical methods for treating end-stage ankle arthritis.
